<h3>Answer: Choice B) x = 65, y = 10</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
The upper pair of angles 60 degrees and (2x-y) degrees are supplementary angles. This is because of the parallel lines. Note how they are same side interior angles. Therefore, (2x-y) and 60 combine to 180 degrees like so
(2x-y)+60 = 180
2x-y = 180-60 ... subtract 60 from both sides
2x-y = 120 ... call this equation 1
-------
Similarly, (2x+y) and 40 also combine to 180
(2x+y) + 40 = 180
2x+y = 180-40 ... subtract 40 from both sides
2x+y = 140 ... call this equation 2
------
Line up equation 1 and equation 2. Then add straight down
That becomes 4x = 260 which solves to x = 65 when you divide both sides by 4.
------
If x = 65, then,
2x-y = 120
2(65)-y = 120
130 - y = 120
-y = 120-130
-y = -10
y = 10
or
2x+y = 140
2(65)+y = 140
130+y = 140
y = 140-130
y = 10
----------
Either way end up with x = 65 and y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
We ahve the slope m = 1/2 and the point (-2, 1). Substitute:
- point-slope form
Covert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 1 to both sides</em>
- slope-intercept form
Convert to the standard form (Ax + By = C):
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>subtract x from both sides</em>
<em>change the signs</em>
- standard form
Convert to the general form (Ax+By+C=0):
<em>add 4 to both sides</em>
- general form
